Chapter 1119 Cold Tide

As the saying goes, "Three Nine, Four Nine, Frozen, Pig, Sheep, Old Dogs," is true.

Even pedestrians should wear hats and cover their faces with their sleeves, panting and breathing, let alone galloping on the horse's back.

However, none of the soldiers escorted Cao Yong back to Beijing complained.

They all came from the Third Battalion of the Super Budget, and they drew lots from hundreds of people to get the opportunity to return to Beijing. They all came from Shuntian Prefecture, and their hometowns were counties in Shuntian Prefecture. It was extremely difficult to go home.

This time, it would be better to say that it was a family vacation instead of "traveling on a business trip".

The Governor had already spoken to give everyone seven days off after entering Beijing.

From Baoding Prefecture to the capital, they are all official roads. The rule is peaceful and there is no disaster for bandits and road dominance. The sign-in trip is just a better look. After all, Cao Yong came to the capital under the orders, so there is no need to hide it. Even if he is not arrogant, he should not be able to follow the car lightly.

Therefore, Cao Yong regarded the opportunity to return to Beijing as a benefit and expressed his kindness to the governor.

It is said that it is the Super Biao, but it is actually just the original Fu Biao. There are only two battalions of soldiers and horses. The military officer with the highest rank is just two guerrillas, with nine hundred and three soldiers under his command.

If you are in charge of the bid, you can have three to five battalions of troops, and the highest military officer can be a general or even a deputy general.

However, Cao Yong had no intention of expanding it. This was the personal soldiers of the governor, and there was no disaster for the bandits in Zhili. It was just that the Governor's Office and the family guarding him were enough.

Fortunately, although the Green Camp was not worthy, Fu Biao was the best-treated among the Green Camp, so when Cao Yong took over the two battalions, less than 10% of the troops were short of staff, and most of the remaining soldiers were young and strong, with 280 horses.

The two guerrillas, one of whom was thirty-six and seven, whose surname was Xie, whose surname was Tianlai, was from Datong, Shanxi, and who was donated to be an official; the other was 42, or 30 years old, but they were Han army, whose surname was Liang and Chuanfu, a person from the capital. In his early years, he served as a vanguard leader in the capital. When the 14th prince went to war, he accompanied him as a deputy general. Later, for some reason, he was dismissed from office and was idle at home.

It was not until the 60th year of Kangxi that Liang Chuanfu recovered, but he did not enter the Eight Banners, but instead added guerrillas and entered Zhili Fubiao.

Before Cao Yong arrived in front of Baoding Prefecture, he felt confused when he saw Liang Chuanfu's resume.

In the 57th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Liang Chuanfu became a deputy general at the age of 35. He either came from a noble family. If he had either outstanding abilities, he would have a master later.

It is not uncommon to be ups and downs in the officialdom. If such a person has a strong background, it is not difficult to reach a high position; if his background is not strong, it is not uncommon to be suppressed to the end.

Liang Chuanfu's background is clouds and mountains, and nothing can be seen.

How many people have no background when working in Zhili?

Just like Xie Tianlai, it was the way of Prince Lao Zhuang, and a housekeeper in Prince Zhuang’s mansion had a distant relative.

But if I really had a background, I wouldn’t have moved there for four years. If I had no background, I would have been squeezed out long ago.

It was not until Yongzheng did not send military officers down that Cao Yong realized that Liang Chuanfu was the emperor's man.

It is enough to know this, and Cao Yong had no intention of exploring the specific details. After all, he did not have the ambition to command the army and had nothing to say to others.

This time when he returned to Beijing, the military officer who came with him was Liang Chuanfu.

Since the Green Camp was about to be activated after the beginning of the year, Cao Yong talked about the details of the Green Camp with Liang Chuanfu along the way, but he did not waste any effort.

The highest commander of the Supervisor can be the general, but now there is a vacant. Instead of waiting for others to remember and send a stranger in, Cao Yong would rather recommend one person from Liang Chuanfu and Xie Tianlai.

But he is still hesitating to recommend which one.

Two people are at the same level, one is promoted and the other is still in office, and they are inevitably injustice. They always have to think of a way to satisfy both of them.

I had no words all the way to the capital.

The group entered the city from Chongwen Gate. When the tax officer of Chongwen Gate heard that the governor of Zhili entered Beijing, he looked at the back of the team and saw that the only carriage Cao Yong was riding, he was so disappointed.

After entering the city, Cao Yong explained a few words to Liang Chuanfu, and even the fifty soldiers he and the fifty soldiers were on vacation.

Before asking them to disperse, Cao Yong sent Zhang Yi to Liang Chuanfu two bags of silver, one for Liang Chuanfu and the other for the soldiers.

Then, Cao Yong went directly to the palace to hand over the sign.

After several days of precipitation, Yongzheng also calmed down and saw Cao Yong's shortcomings in his development, and began to pick on it. He discussed with several major scholars and denied the plan several times.

When he heard Cao Yong coming, Yongzheng told him to see him at Yangxin Palace, and he scolded him with a scattered reprimand: "Absurd, outside the pass is the place where my dynasty is moving. When the founding of the country, he has always only raised soldiers and not the people. How can he set up prefectures and counties? I asked you to go down to work as a service, not to make you think about it and speak nonsense? I know that you are not capable enough and have never expressed your expectations to you. Just hope that you will abide by your duty and not lose your face. Think twice about everything in the future. As a governor and take care of the people, how can you make a fuss?" At the end of the talk, I had already brought some sternness.

Cao Yong was stunned by the scolding. Did he think ahead?

I clearly remember that Chengde later set up a prefectural office. He had been to Chengde in his previous life and also heard the legend of Chengde's prefect when he seized power in Cixi.

In addition, what he saw in his early years, there were already many big towns on the hundreds of miles from the capital to Rehe. Even if there was no prefecture and county system, the population was not large.

It is easier to set up prefectures and counties in Rehe than to set up prefectures and counties outside the mouth because there is no need to migrate the population.

He was confused, but in the face of Yongzheng's reprimand, Cao Yong could only plead guilty.

Yongzheng was probably tired of scolding, so he looked at Cao Yong and hummed twice, took a teacup and drank it, and said, "Let's just calm!"

When it comes to setting up prefectures and counties and increasing taxes, he, of course, agreed with both hands, but it is not the emperor who can tell the decision outside the pass. At that time, he would have to argue with the princes of the Eight Banners. This is what Yongzheng did not want, so he could only give up this.

He was angry, but he was not about Cao Yong, but about those royal families.

In addition, Yongzheng did not praise Cao Yong, but scolded him, and deliberately beat him up for fear that he would become arrogant and pampered.

Cao Yong was honestly waiting for the following text, and he did not pass all the development articles by chance.

For example, the seafood breeding industry was written at that time. It was because the people in Linhai were too poor, so they hoped that if they were lucky, they would have room for development. There was also the mining industry, which was just a beautiful idea.

In this era, transportation was inconvenient and coal was not cheap after long journeys. The poor could not afford it, and the rich thought it was dirty and used directly with charcoal, which was not easy to sell.

Unexpectedly, Yongzheng mentioned seafood breeding and mining next time, and asked a few questions, with great concern, and then the following was gone.

Cao Yong was unsure and couldn't agree or agree. Yongzheng had put these two places aside and talked about Zhili's agriculture with Cao Yong.

"I have had two years of experience in Jiangnan every year. Are you doing it in Zhili?" Yongzheng asked.

In his previous life, Cao Yong had been to a classmate in Hebei and knew that there were winter wheat intercropping corn or soybeans in the countryside. Although Cao Yong had not seen it with his own eyes in this life, he asked three prefects and more than a dozen prefects about this question, and asked the elders from several townships outside Qingyuan County to go to the Governor's Office for inquiries, and then came to this conclusion.

Seeing Cao Yong's affirmative answer, Yongzheng nodded and said, "I know you are always a stable person. If you don't have the confidence to increase your grain production, you will not make any suggestions for promoting cotton and linen. It's just that you must be orderly and don't rush to have a moment. You can wait for two years for cotton and linen..."

As the king and his minister were talking, an eunuch at the door said, "Your Majesty, Prince Zhuang is asking for a meeting in urgent need!"

Yongzheng's remarks were interrupted by the rise of his interest, and he couldn't help but frown and shouted: "Chen Fu!"

Before he finished speaking, an eunuch had already entered the door, and he was the one who had just reported: "I am here!"

Yongzheng was about to scold him, but he felt that something was wrong. The Sixteenth Prince was not a reckless person and would never ask someone to ask for a meeting when he knew that he had met his ministers.

"Come!" The voice was cold.

Before Chen Fu went out to succeed him, the sixteenth prince outside heard the sound and hurried in.

His forehead was covered in sweat and his face was pale. He entered the warm room and knelt down and replied: "Master, the second prince is sick!"

Yongzheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I reported a few days ago that I ordered the imperial physician to go and see him? Isn't it better yet?"

Because there was an outsider, the Sixteenth Prince hesitated a little. He glanced at the minister standing beside him. When he saw Cao Yong, he said happily: "Your Majesty, I am afraid I can't be able to bear this time. The Imperial Doctor just returned the matter and asked him to prepare for the funeral..."

"What?" Yongzheng stood up suddenly when he heard this.

He felt a little numb and a little joyful feeling.

Although that person was "destroyed", he was the chief of the emperor, and he was a thorn in his heart.

He was unwilling to bear the charge of "killing his brother", so he wanted to offer sacrifices to Xian'an Palace. The emperor's favorite emperor, Hongxi, also followed the orders of the late emperor, and was named the prince and placed it in the Zhengjiazhuang Palace.

Now, this thorn in my heart is finally removed.

He sighed and said, "Why are the acute illness? Can you still speak?"

"I felt uncomfortable on the eighth day of the lunar month. The imperial physician just thought it was an ordinary wind evil entering his body. Unexpectedly, his condition became worse in the past few days. He began to fall into a coma this morning and could not take medicine..." The sixteenth prince replied.

Yongzheng was silent for a while, and his face gradually showed a sad look, and he slowly said, "I know, Prince Yi, Prince Jian, Prince Li, Prince Chun... Justice... Bei Zi Hongchun explored the disease... ordered the Imperial Hospital to choose a good doctor to treat it!"

"My brother received the order!" The matter was of great importance. The sixteenth prince responded and left in a hurry.

Yongzheng sat down again, his expression was lonely and he had no interest in talking about government affairs. He waved his hand and sent Cao Yong to kneel down.

After coming out of the Yangxin Palace, Cao Yong breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't expect that he would return to Beijing and was just at this time.

The emperor arranged those royal families, rather than asking for trouble, was more like a testimony.

There are too many twists and turns here, and Cao Yong has no mentality.

If Your Majesty has seen it, he can go home.
